What's cooler than cool?

When one of your awesomely talented and creative friends

makes your Christmas gift!!

Yupper! That's what I'm talking about!!

One of my favoritest gals in the world

painted this gorgeous plate for me!!

Now when I opened it she wasn't present, so I had time to

ponder and look at it and wonder. I had no idea it was hand painted by her when I

first opened it, but as I stared at it I noticed the similarities

between the gorgeously painted lady and well, myself.

This was my face for Hallowe'en this year.

MacKenzie, you are an awesome artist and a creative genius,

but most importantly, you are a beautiful person and one

of the most thoughtful people I have ever known.

I truly cherish our friendship and I feel richer for having

you in my life.

Thank you for the most meaningful gift ever!!
